I don't think this is that big of an issue. Non-theists will continue to not believe in a higher power and theists, in this case Christians, will continue to believe in God and his son Jesus Christ. The birth date and year really are not that big of a deal.

The simple truth is that the New Testament claims that Jesus of Nazareth is Lord of heaven and earth… the ultimate revelation of who God is and what he wants from his creates… and about one third of the planet’s population finds it credible. The snide put-downs, sophomoric arguments and thinly veiled threats of people like Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens and Penn and Teller do not impress them. Forced to choose between what the cynical media say is plausible and “scientific,” and what the Bible says about Jesus, billions prefer the Bible. They know Jesus, and trust him – more than all the scholars in the Jesus Seminar.

We can disagree about this all day but I don't care what anyone's religious beliefs are so long as they are not harming anyone, or pushing them on me. I will simply say Richard Dawkins is an idiot hated by most atheists. At least the ones I know.

You just asked us why you do not care for something.

I can give you 100 reasons off the top of my head if you'd like. You can apply them to anything too, not just that reply.
